This may come across as a bit harsh, but I feel as if you weren't ready for this lesson. Your form intersections show that you're still struggling to internalize certain lessons from L1 and L2. Your lines are overshooting their end points; Your boxes don't all have converging sides; Your ellipses are sloppy and their minor axis doesn't align with the center of your cylinders; You're not adequately using lineweight to separate your forms. I have criticisms of your constructions as well, but many of them stem from incomplete understanding of the fundamentals learned in earlier lessons.

Next Steps:

Redo lessons 1, 2, box challenge and cylinder challenge. With particular attention to the following:

  • Not overshooting your lines

  • Convergence for your boxes and cylinders

  • Improving the general consistency of your ellipses

  • Properly aligning the minor axis for your ellipses

  • Using lineweight to separate and define your forms

When finished, reply to this critique with your revisions.

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
